Our Progressive Scratch Program  

From the team behind top Roblox and Minecraft classes, this is Level 1 of our carefully designed Scratch program, built to grow with your child and spark their passion for game-making.  

We offer a structured yet creative journey for ages 4-12, introducing coding concepts through fun, hands-on projects:  

• Pre-Level: “Catch the Magic Star!” (Ages 4-7, 4 weeks) – Young learners use Scratch Jr. to create a simple tap-to-catch game, building confidence with basic coding.  

• Level 1: “Cosmic Rescue – Space Mini-Games!” (Ages 7-12, 4 weeks) – Beginners make a new space-themed game each week, mastering fundamental coding skills in Scratch.  

• Level 2: “Tricky Trail” (Ages 7-12, 6 weeks) – Intermediate coders design maze games with scoring, traps, and game mechanics.  

• Level 3: “Hero’s Journey” (Ages 7-12, 8 weeks) – Advanced learners create multi-level adventures with more complex logic, storytelling, and interactivity.  

• Scratch Clubs (Ages 4-12, ongoing) – Weekly creative coding sessions where kids design new mini-games in a fun, social environment.  

Why Scratch?  

Developed by MIT, Scratch is the world’s leading coding platform for kids, using colorful drag-and-drop blocks to bring ideas to life—no typing required! It runs in a web browser, making it easy to start, and teaches core programming skills like logic, sequencing, and problem-solving through interactive play.  

In “Cosmic Rescue,” kids get their first taste of game development, building confidence while having fun with space-themed coding challenges.  

What Makes Our Program Stand Out?  

• A New Game Every Week – Unlike single-project courses that can feel slow, our approach keeps kids engaged with fresh mini-games like “Rocket Race” and “Alien Dodge.”  
• Step-by-Step Skill Progression – We introduce one key skill at a time (e.g., motion, then collisions), ensuring kids truly grasp each concept before moving forward.  
• Inspired by Real Games – With our expertise in Roblox and Minecraft, we make coding feel like an adventure, helping kids build games they’ll be excited to play and share.  

By the end of this course, your child will have created four space-themed mini-games, built a strong foundation in coding, and be ready for the next challenge—whether that’s moving on to “Tricky Trail” or continuing to experiment with their own game ideas!
